Where: Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel, 5th floor, Room 506

Heather Bruce, Montana Writing Project

 

This “Reading the Research” session examines the field of whiteness studies—recent scholarship that examines, questions, and critiques “whiteness” as a racial category. Two articles will serve as the introduction to the field. Participants will be given copies of the articles and time to read, followed by structured activities designed to apply whiteness studies to the work of their local writing project site.
